On February 28, one of the most noted live music concert halls and restaurants in the country, House of Blues Anaheim opened at the Garden Walk in Anaheim. They recently moved from their old location in Downtown Disney.
Outside of the new venue, a light blue carpet rolled out in front of the building, a step and repeat and a classic police car which were all photo-op perfect.
In the chill dusk of the evening, the Blues Brothers – Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi rolled up with a pair of Harley-Davidson motorcycles accompanied with their signature look – black hat fedoras, black shades, and all black outfits with a white collared shirt underneath.
The energy of the crowd became palpable when Akroyd and Belushi started to dance. Aykroyd welcomed the fans and the press and mentioned they were excited to celebrate the African American songbook, southern rural folk art as well as the greatest Louisiana cooking in the world. He also shared in the next few years HOB will be opening in Paris, Prague, Berlin, London and Havana, Cuba. Akroyd revealed that HOB Anaheim will be “a fixture in Orange County for the next 100 years!” But the highlight of the evening was when Aykroyd, Belushi and executives smashed guitars to officially open the concert hall/restaurant.
